Blows they wont honor any manufacturers discount programs
What a ripoff for retirees

Retired now but I was a relief man for many years,and with tag relief,the relief man and his people have got to respect one another
I seen many relief people and line people screw themselves because of the lack of respect.
A couple things I would do
After stocking up I would let the last man take a pee call
When I finished my route I would give the first man a pee call
If someone needed to leave early(legitimate reason) I would switch breaks with them
I would always leave their jobs worked back as far as possible
All I ask in return was to be back on time,not leave their job in the hole when I arrived and if I needed a favor to accommodate me
And there was a healthy respect on my route because of that

So having no restrictions would be better how? The backround checks have worked to keep some of the mentally ill and some others from obtaining guns. If the backround checks had been stricter,the Virginia Tech shooter would not have been able to legally obtain his guns.
Restrictions are not foolproof. No one says they are. Having no restrictions is not the answer. Every right carries with it responsibilities. Even the Supreme Court recognized that reasonable restrictions on guns were not affected by the overturning of the DC ban.
Yea, AND the shooter could/would have gotten his weapons illegally if he was that intent on killing
And if students and staff were allowed to legally carry then most of those deaths could have been prevented by a legally armed student or staff.
Ya know there used to be a radio talk show host here in STL. that had the ultimate line about you and all the other goodie two shoes.

Yea go ahead and elect obamawammadingedong,Let him increase the taxes on big business,put in socialized medicine,take your protection from you.Then you will be bitchin cause the gov. is taking too much for health care and big business has upped prices to pay their tax bill and the police cant protect you!!
WAKE UP,TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.Dont demand the government to do it for you.
Most of the current ENTITLEMENT programs are just making you lazy,and dependant on the government instead of the government being dependant on you.
As was said by Thomas Jefferson "The government should fear the people,not the people should fear the government"
Which IMHO is exactly what is wrong with this country.

Well they done went and took the wreckin ball to SLAP a couple daze ago.
I am gonna try to go by there today and take some pics,I will post them when I do.
Since this is "THE END" of SLAP, I thought I would repost this with a PS added to it.
Back In The Daze
Backin the daze of '48,The war was over and it was great
Back in the daze of '48,Uncle Henry deciced to place a stake
Here in St. Louis, he made a stand
To build cars and trucks with a bunch of hands
Through the years,those hands had built
Quality cars and trucks to the hilt
First came the Lincoln all shiney and proud
Then the Mercury with OOOOOs from the crowd
To the baby Grand it made a great pic
Then The Jewel in the top of the Crown Vic
Alas they told us we were through
But then a great Star was brought to you know who
We built it with pride the same as the others
with top quality from our sisters and brothers
Once again they said it would end
But like a great tree we did bend
They gave us a challenge and said it couldnt be done
Not even the Japs could make it run
We built our Star along with our fame
To build a unibody alongside a frame
When the Star shot away we still had our Explorer
Then a Mountaineer came to our border
In 2001 our profits were great
but in '02 we learned of our fate
We still had a shot to finish the show
and a new Lincoln wanted to glow
We babied her all down the line
Then at the end she took on a shine
As our Aviator flew away
We had a tear for this day
I will alway remember those good days and bad
'Cause you know deep down my heart is sad

PS
As I walk the remains
I feel even more pain
'cause you see
That place meant a lot to me
For sixty-five years
We toiled with tears
Not just from our eyes
but from sweat we did cry
Oh SLAP you did good
we knew you would
We say good bye old friend
It has come to an end.
So long-adios, we will not meet again
except in memories,or with a pen.
As I write this, best wishes go out
To all those that had so many doubts
I loved you all and with the pain in my heart
I hope you all got a good new start

Does anyone have any new news about the St. Louis people. I'm wondering if the plans have changed now that the truck plant may lose a shift. Are all of the pending transfers still on or have they been postponed
Seems they been put on hold again S-I-L was posed ta go there next week but it,s been out off till???
-
ONLY THE STRONGEST SURVIVE,Gods law-not mine.Why should we go against him?Clear the gene pool of the wreched and sick.
-
Dave, did they give you a scooter with a reinforced frame to ride?cause ya done bent the chit out of the one you had at SLAP.Or are ya walkin all that fat off?
-
Back when SLAP closed in order to qualify you had to be on active rolls,so they let just about anybody that was on med back on active rolls so they could qualify-some had been on med for 9-10 YEARS!!
-
Yea I got one today as well-even though it had somebody elses name on it-Guess he got the one wiff my name

For those of us that are vested in the company and have a pension, if we take the lump sum buy outs, will we have the opportunity to take what pension money we have accumulated and do with it what we want??
My last job I was vested, and I took my pension money and rolled it over to an IRA so I could control it and invest it the way I wanted.
I would rather take what pension money I have with Ford and do with it what I want. I personally don't think my pension money will be there for me to draw 15 years from now. With the way this Company is sinking :titanic: I foresee them having to do what the Airlines did and file bankruptcy and have a Federal Judge release them from their pension obligations and other things so they can survive.
To answer your question in one word-NO!
You can freeze it-but you cannot take the money and run.
Also if you take the $100k buyout you must be 62 yrs old and wait 23 months before you can draw on it.

Pointy,Dcassity,and the rest of you that are headed west
Wish I was goin with you but they wouldnt let me go with my job so I decided to retire as you know.
Good luck and I'm sure the folks out there will treat you right.
Stay in touch here, I usually get out that way a couple times a year and would like to see a few of you again for a cold frostie or 12
Good Luck on your new job whether your slingin tires or wrappin em up for the dealer.

heard a rumour that no matter when you will be transfered, they want us their during shutdown
first 2 weeks in july for orientation. dont kill the messanger, this is something I heard, and it
sounded like something ford might pull, and just wondering if anyone else had heard anything like that :shrug:
Not ta pizz any of ya off I hope it's true,that way I wont be forced to burn 2 wks vac pay since we have to take vac pay as the GEN pool would have to.If GEN doesnt have a vac shut down then the pre-retirement group doesnt.

Just curious, are there any layout inspectors in St Louis signed up to come to KC?
SLAP's layout inspector retired with the idling of the plant
BTW a layout inspector checked parts for proper placement of bends,cuts holes,whatever on parts to make sure they all fit properly within specs
-
I dont know if it's true but my S-I-L is a pipefitter at SLAP and low senoirity(85 I think)They told her that she couldnt go to KCAP as a pipefitter but had to go back to labor pool to be eligble for the tranfer.
